To All Users
In our division, we restrict the number of people entering a room simultaneously according to the BCP level to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus.
Under the BCP2 framework, for voluntary training or research guidance within the same group, we permit use by multiple people by avoiding simultaneous use with other groups.
When multiple people enter the room in this way, we leave partition curtains and room doors open to avoid the “Three Cs” (closed spaces, crowded places, close-contact settings). However, during humid periods such as the rainy season, it becomes impossible to control the indoor humidity, making it difficult to maintain the condition of the equipment.
Therefore, during the rainy season, we will close the entrance doors of the laboratories for humidity control. In conjunction with this measure, simultaneous visits by members of the same group will also be suspended in principle.
We apologize for the inconvenience and ask for your cooperation in preventing the spread of infection.
If experimental guidance within a group is necessary, please consider utilizing “remote attendance.”
If you absolutely need to conduct experiments with simultaneous visits as before, please consult us individually.
Thank you for your understanding.
Division of Analytical Electron Microscopy, IMR
